Abilene Cooper

-- Cooper senior RB Kerry Sims scored two more TDs in the Cougars' 17-14 victory against Cedar Park on Friday. Sims now has had a hand in seven of the Cougars' eight TDs they have scored this season. Sims has rushed for 240 yards and six scores, while adding 28 receiving yards and another TD on three receptions.

Abilene High

-- Impressively, Abilene High gave up just seven passing yards to Duncanville in the Eagles 26-8 victory on Friday. That isn't a program record for the Eagles, though. In 1989, the Eagles held Wichita Falls Rider to negative-2 passing yards in a 21-7 loss to the Raiders.

Amarillo Tascosa

-- The 48-0 margin by which Tascosa lost to Amarillo High was the largest in the history of the rivalry, which began in 1958.

-- Tascosa hasn't scored a touchdown against Amarillo High since 2009, the year before coach Mel Maxfield took over the Sandies

-- The Rebels still boast the third-best rushing offense in the district at 203 yards per game, led by Peyton Brooks, who has 122 yards on 26 carries on the season.

Lubbock Coronado

-- A 3-yard touchdown run by Rod Moore was the only score of the game as Coronado defeated rival Lubbock High 7-0 for the 26th straight time. It was the lowest scoring game in the series since 1986

-- Coronado made up for passing for -3 yards against Lubbock High with two 100-yard rushers in Moore, who had 133 yards on 24 carries, and Isaiah Tates, who rushed 11 times for 117 yards.

-- Shed Kelly intercepted two passes inside the Mustang 10-yard line, including one in the fourth quarter that helped put Lubbock High away.

Odessa Permian

-- With its 23-13 loss to Wolfforth Frenship, Permian dropped to 0-2 for the first time since 1964. Just a week earlier, Permian fell to an El Paso school for the first time since 1960.

n In its season opener against El Paso Montwood, Permian set a school record with 16 penalties in a 34-30 loss. In the loss to Frenship, the Panthers fell just two penalties short of the previous school record with 12.

-- Panther running back Jorrion Wilson continued his strong start to his senior season, rushing for 179 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. Wilson leads District 2-5A in rushing by nearly 100 yards as he leads Kerry Sims of Abilene Cooper by a 340-260 margin.
